Republicans now control the Legislature. They should end this nonsense and stop the DPI from suing school districts and fining non-compliant schools.

Republicans should do it in the name of defending local schools. But Republicans should also do it because we shouldn’t be eradicating the role of Native Americans in our history and our culture by trying to erase every mention of them.

I’ve never understood the sentimentality people place on High School mascots and nicknames. I get the reluctance a little with College and Professional teams where the trademark represents revenue, but High School?

Frankly, I think it’s more to do with territoriality that an outside force is making them change than any real value in the nickname itself.
